The universities' bridge festival took place on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of February; teams turned up from Bristol, Edinburgh (read their report here.) and Leeds, and our numbers were further bolstered by the appearance of the Grumpy Old Men featuring Mr Robert Morris. Full results and a report are below - congratulations go to Durham A (Dom Maloney, Laura Perryman, Tom Dessain and Robin Zigmond) for winning the teams, to Tom D and Tom H for winning the pairs, and to Geraint and Tom G-S for winning the speedball at the end. This last was especially impressive, as they finished on a score of 75%!
The photos from the weekend now have their own separate page here.

*Fined half a VP for discussing discard systems over the table!
We're still short of a few names for the teams; I'm working on piecing together exactly who was playing in each team but if you can fill in any blanks then please let us know so you don't remain anonymous!
